After Dongyang Fort, enter the newly opened gorge valley of Wuling Mountain, zigzag to the northwest for more than 200 miles to the Cuishi Peak.

In the distance, I saw that the emerald grass at the southern foot of the Cuishi Peak was crowded and full of people, Wei Yan lightly clamped the horse's belly, and the brown peony horse galloped towards the gentle slope like an arrow.

Riding apart from everyone, the dark cyan armor wrapped around the petite and delicate body greeted Wei Yan.

Wei Yan saw the bright smile that gradually became clearer, and wanted to turn around and leave, but turned around and saw Xu Ruyu standing at the front of the car with Jue'er lifting the curtain and looking here, thinking: If you go back, it will definitely make Mrs. Jue'er ridicule, so she had to turn over and dismount and rush forward, and said stiffly: "Mr. Qingjiang Riding Camp Guard, Mrs. Jue'er passed through Cuishi Peak...... but looked at the empty space behind Ziyang Yalan.

Ziyang Yalan succeeded Liang Bao as the commander of the Baiyi Army, with the rank of general of Jiawei, and his general position was one rank higher than that of Wei Yan. Seeing that his hand was raised to half a height or hesitantly fell, his face was full of reluctance, and he couldn't help laughing out loud, and his jade face was like a flower.

After the Battle of Southern Fujian, Feng Yuanyuan led the 5,000 elites of the Xiao Guard Army to return to Qingjiang first; More than 10,000 soldiers and horses under the former and Ziyang Yalan of Jimo Mingxi, and tens of thousands of troops from the Southern Fujian Guards, also returned to Qingjiang through Qingfeng Gorge and Cuishi Peak within half a month.

Ziyang Yalan jumped off the horse, glanced at Wei Yan, looked forward to the beautiful eyes of the people, and said coquettishly: "Mr. Shao, Mr. Xu, eldest brother and others have all gone to Cuishi Peak to welcome the adults, and I will go to see the adults." ”

Xu Ruyu had already seen the people standing on the gentle slope, turned back to Ao Fang behind the side of the car and said: "Uncle Ao Fang, Mr. Shao and Bo Ying are here, Zi Yangqiu and several leaders of Baiyi are here, it seems that I will stay overnight in Cuishi Peak today." ”

Ao Fang, Guan Jian, Cao San, Tu Wenyong, Zhao Jingyun, Zhou Shilong, Luo Boyuan, Peng Muqiu, and Peng Muqiong all got off their horses and came to the front of the team.

Jue'er hesitated, and when she saw that Ru Yu was about to get out of the carriage, she gently tugged at the placket of his clothes and said softly, "I'd better stay in the car." ”

Xu Ruyu looked back, saw that her face was embarrassed, and her flush flushed, knowing that she didn't know how to face Qingjiang with a new identity, and she was quite hesitant in her heart. Laughing, he hugged her delicate body, jumped out of the car, and when he turned in the air, he whispered to her ear and sideburns: "Later, you will go with me to Yongyang to see Sister Youli." ”

Jue'er only felt that her cheeks were hot, and she gently hugged Ru Yu's arm, standing at his side, not daring to look at the expressions of the people around her.

Xu Ruyu saw Shao Haitang, Xu Boying and others coming up from afar, Shao Haitang and Xu Boying in front, Ziyangqiu and the leaders of Baiyi were behind, and Ziyang Yalan, Wei Yan and other generals in the middle were separated.

Xu Ruyu smiled dumbly, thinking: Shao Haitang and Xu Boying didn't come to meet me. He glanced back at Guan Jian and said, "But what is there to hide from me?" ”

Guan Jian was slightly stunned, Shao Haitang had not yet stabbed the differences between Cuishi County and the disposal of Yiwang Jimo Ruiping to Xu Ruyu's side, and he didn't know how to answer for a while.

Shao Haitang and Xu Boying rushed to Cuishi Peak to greet them, probably to prevent Zi Yangqiu and others from speaking first.

Xu Ruyu saw Guan Jian's hesitant look, and he understood one or two in his heart.

The plank road of Wuling Mountain surrounds the slope of the four feet of Cuishi Peak, and through the plank road of Wuling Mountain, you can enter Lishui River Valley, Yunxi, enter Fuzhou, enter Xiangxi, Dadong River into Yueqing and Wenling, and enter Wuling and Zhangtai through Qingfeng Gorge and Dongyang Xinpi Gorge. After the battle of Southern Fujian, except for Putian and Yi'an in western Fujian, the rest of the places are in the bag, Wuling Mountain has become the hinterland, and the Cuishi Peak has become an important hub connecting all places, and it has become a top priority to build a city and build a road to pass through various places in the Cuishi Peak. Ziyangqiu hopes that in Cuishizhi County, the five counties of Cuishi, Yunwu, Qingfeng, Dongyang, and Lishui will be under the jurisdiction of one government. The five counties are under the jurisdiction of one government, and the Baiyi forces are in an absolute advantage in it, Shao Haitang naturally does not allow such a situation to occur, hoping that the two or three prefectures will be divided into the steep terrain of Wuling Mountain.

The king of Baiyi, that is, Mo Ruiping, is now staying in Yongyang, and the fate of Mo Ruiping still needs to be decided by Xu Ruyu.

Xu Ruyu raised his forehead and complained bitterly, and when he saw Xu Boying smiling with the same wry, he thought: Ji Mo Mingxi and others will not put pressure on me, but if I want to say a few words to others, I don't allow them not to think about it. After all, Mo Ruiping is his father, but he asked Shao Haitang to send a letter to Yongyang, how could there be no complaints in his heart? It's really embarrassing for him to see that he has been silent in front of him for the past few months.

Shao Haitang's face was not different, he looked at Jue'er with low eyebrows, smiled slightly, and said loudly: "When Qingfeng returns, all the people are jubilant." We stayed in Qingjiang, fortunately to live up to our mission. He said to Jue'er again: "I've seen Mrs. Jue'er." ”

Jue'er looked embarrassed and said in a low voice: "Mr. Shao still calls me Jue'er." But he didn't dare to look at Shao Haitang and the others' smiling and teasing looks.

Xu Ruyu smiled slightly, and said nonchalantly: "Mr. Lao Shao went to the cuishi to greet him." He turned to Xu Boying and said: "Let Liang Bao stay in Quanzhou alone, he must be very busy, Boying needs to draw up a statement as soon as possible, so that Nanmin can implement it." ”

Xu Boying smiled slightly and said, "After reading the list sent by Ru Yu, Boying and Mr. Shao have been discussing for a long time, and now they have a rough name for the political system of Southern Fujian. ”

"Oh."

Xu Boying straightened his thoughts for a while, followed Xu Ruyu's side, and said as he walked away: "The original Zhangtai and Wuling cities set up Dongyang Mansion, and there were seven counties of Dongyang, Zhangtai, Gantang, Jian'an, Wuling, Qingfeng, and Minzhong, and Zhou Shizhong was the main government. With Yongjiabao as the center, the original Zhangzhou Yi, the northern part of Minzhongyi, and the western part of Longyan set up Yongjia Mansion, and there are six counties of Yongjia, Zhangzhou, Xixia, Dongxia, Lianyun and Minhou, and Majieting is the main government. Quanzhou Mansion was set up in the southeast of Quanzhou Yi and Minzhong Yi, with six counties under it, and He Jiongyi was the main government. Longyan, Longquan, Hui'an, and Haicang are not in the county system for the time being, and Li Yuanji, Jing Hao, Dong Shuda, and Qin Zeduan are four people who serve as the guards of the four provinces. Ryukyu Island originally set up a government and three yips, but for more than ten years, Zongzheng Xunda contracted the defense line, Fengzhu Mansion was in vain, only Fengzhu City was not destroyed, considering the special case of Peng's family in Fengzhu Mansion, it was proposed that Peng Fengming should concurrently serve as the captain of Fengzhu and the head of Fengzhu Mansion. In the southern Fujian regions, Dongyang Mansion was directly under Qingjiang, and the Southern Fujian Xingyuan was set up to govern the military and political affairs of the three provinces and four yi of Southern Fujian, Liang Bao served as the governor of the Southern Fujian Xingyuan, the prime minister of the three provinces and four yi military affairs, Zheng Menghuai served as the Zuo Cheng of the Southern Fujian Xingyuan, the prime minister of the three provinces and four yi, and Ding Zheng served as the capital of the Southern Fujian Xingyuan and the assistant government affairs. ”

Xu Ruyu said: "Although the new army of the Southern Fujian garrison has a large number, it has not yet been rectified, and it will take time to form a certain combat effectiveness. I originally wanted Bo Ying to go to Quanzhou to assist Liang Bao temporarily, but considering that tens of thousands of troops and a considerable number of clan soldiers and their families were going to move into Qingjiang, and a total of nearly 300,000 people had to be relocated and resettled, Bo Ying could not get out of Qingjiang. He turned around and said to Wei Yan: "I want to leave Fenglin in Nanmin and serve as a military captain in Nanmin, what do you think?" ”

Wei Yan said in a loud voice: "Mr. just say yes." ”

Wei Yan thought to himself: Who doesn't know the relationship between Liang Bao and you? looked sideways at Ziyang Yalan on the side, and said secretly: When will you let this woman ride on her head. The Baiyi army will take over the defense of the Lishui River Valley, and Mr. has always regarded the Qingjiang cavalry camp as a personal guard, and this time most of them will stay in the Lishui River Valley, and at that time, she will be shorter. I was anxious, but I didn't know who to look for, and when I looked back, I saw Tu Wenyong hiding behind everyone, his eyes lit up as if he had opened his mind, and he slowed down and walked towards him.

Xu Boying said: "The military and political affairs of the three provinces and four towns of Nanfu will be under the jurisdiction of the Qingfeng General Mansion, and the formation of the Qingfeng General Mansion is the top priority. However, after the establishment of General Qingfeng's Mansion, how did the political affairs halls of the two places deal with themselves? ”

Xu Ruyu said: "The decision of the government affairs hall is a good system, and it should not be wasted. The line of the camp is divided into two courts, and the military administration of the two houses is separated, and the head of the camp courtyard, the military captains, and the army are from the Qingfeng General's Mansion, and the left Cheng, the capital, and the rafters of the capital are from the political affairs hall. ”

In this way, the context is clear.

Shao Haitang fell behind slightly, and when he heard this, he said secretly: You Yu really don't want to take the opportunity to take all the power into his hands? In front of everyone, he couldn't open his mouth to ask, so he had to press it in his heart and not mention it for the time being.

Nan Min Tiao Chen Zhong did not list the two counties of Dongyang and Qingfeng separately for discussion, and the opinions of the Qingjiang Political Affairs Hall were clear at a glance, and Ziyang Qiu stood in the back column, wanting to speak but having no chance. He also knew in his heart that there was great resistance to putting the five counties of Qingfeng, Cuishi, Yunwu, Dongyang, and Lishui under the jurisdiction of one government, and Xu Ruyu was not such a good person.

That is, Mo Ruiping left Puji East Reef Island, because a secret letter from Shao Haitang has been stranded in Yongyang, Ziyangqiu learned that Wei Yu's move was not from Xu Ruyu's instructions, and naturally hoped that there would be a place for relaxation in this. However, Guan Jianqian told in the letter: After Xu Ruyu received the detailed battle report that Wei Yu led the Jinghai Sea Battalion to Puji, he was noncommittal, but only signed a warrant to order the Jinghai Sea Camp to return to Yongyang, and was controlled by Zhang Zhongdao, the general of the Wuwei, which made everyone wonder in their hearts and could not understand Xu Ruyu's thoughts.

Under the leadership of Wei Yu, the Jinghai Sea Battalion attacked the Puji economy and captured the islanders. Wei Yu requisitioned Puji boats from Yongyang to transport the islanders, the sea was stormy and turbulent, and as many as 20% of the islanders were shipwrecked, and the Jinghai Sea Camp inevitably had disputes with the local islanders when it attacked the Puji economy, because this also caused a large number of islanders to be killed and injured.

The Jinghai Sea Camp harassed Puji, and the civilian casualties were more than 10,000, how could Zi Yangqiu mention Xu Ruyu's sore spot at this time and defeat everyone's interest? The surname Suo fell behind everyone, and he didn't say a word, thinking: Jimo Mingxi has returned to Qingjiang and met Jimo Ruiping, but the father and son are family, and Shao Haitang can't stop it.

The next day, Xu Ruyu and the people of Qingjiang entered the Lishui waterway on the warship of the Qingjiang water camp and went down the river, and on 17 August, the battleship sailed out of Taishan and entered the Lishui River Valley, which was more than a year after Xu Ruyu left Qingjiang last time.

The autumn water is abundant, out of Taishan, the Lishui waterway is suddenly open, Xu Ruyu and Xu Boying stand side by side on the deck, look at both banks, farmhouses, granges are in full view, stone steps from the river embankment down to the water, several plain-clothed village girls pull their trousers and step on the river water, see the big ship passing, they all straighten up and look at this side.

Xu Ruyu breathed a sigh of relief and said, "Bo Ying still remembers the situation when we first entered the Qingjiang River and came here to welcome Zhang Ji and Zhang Xu brothers down the mountain? ”

"How can you forget? At that time, there was still a ruin under the embankment, about a mile in radius, ruins and broken tiles, everywhere, and a few wisps of thatch rolling around. Xu Boying looked at the market town in the distance, Xu Ruyu has been commanding the troops, most of the big and small changes in the Lishui River Valley have his sweat, and he is more emotional about the pleasant countryside in front of him, and said softly, "If I can see this world reunite in my lifetime, I am satisfied." ”

Xu Ru's foolish eyes fell on the sky and water in the distance, the white waves came after him, endless, the wind and clouds passed, and the changes were unprovoked, and he said: "There must be a rule of chaos, but it can't be realized in my hands, and there are other heroes, but for thousands of years, the cycle of chaos has been repeated, and there is no end, which makes people confused." In the world of peace, decades or at most hundreds of years will fall into chaos again, which makes people feel powerless. ”

Xu Boying looked at Xu Ruyu's slightly confused star eyes, sighed softly, and did not speak.

The footsteps behind him sounded, Xu Ruyu didn't need to look back, knowing that Shao Haitang came behind him, he breathed a sigh of relief and said: "Puji still has 20,000 soldiers in Wenling City, and he consumes 40,000 stone of grain every month, and Gongliang Youqin will probably feel pressure." ”

Shao Haitang saw that Xu Ruyu stopped the topic with Xu Boying and turned to the hostile situation in Wenling, sighed in his heart, and said: "More than that, the grain and grass in Wenling City can only be transported from Puji Island now, and the consumption by sea is at least doubled, Gongliang Youqin will consume at least one million stone of grain in Wenling every year, and with the barren land of Puji Island alone, the annual surplus grain is about this amount, if you can't get grain and grass from Yuejun, you will definitely withdraw from Wenling within this year." ”

"I'm afraid that the Zhu and Fan clans really want to provide food for Gongliang Youqin, right?"

Xu Boying chuckled lightly and said: "When the main force of our army went to Southern Fujian, the Zhu and Fan tribes gathered heavy troops at the border. ”

"The Zhu family probably regrets using the warships of the Liyang Water Battalion to block the Qingjiang waterway, Yongyang and Qingjiang are only separated from the Wuzhou Mansion of the Zhu clan, which is not very far."

Shao Haitang was slightly stunned and said: "Except for Xin'an City, only separated by Jiangning and Huzhou, the Zhu clan has risen in Wuzhou, and has always deliberately managed Wuzhou, while ignoring that Jiangning is a beautiful place in Jiangzuo. ”

Xin'an City is located in the northeast of Qingjiang, Jiangning City faces Suyi with the river, Huzhou is adjacent to Zhenze in the east, and is located in the middle of Xin'an and Jiangning more than 30 miles to the west.

Zhenze Lake of "Three Rivers Enter, Zhenze Bottom", Zhenze is known as 36,000 hectares, is the head of the five lakes, the East Mountain is surrounded on three sides, Wuzhou Yuantou Zhu smoke wave is vast, the momentum is magnificent, the lake and mountain are like an undulating green dragon.

Wuzhou billions of fertile fields are created by this lake, the large and small water systems of Yue County are all connected with it, the largest water system in Qingjiang Prefecture is the Tiaojiang River, the source of the Tiaojiang River is the northeast foot of Taishan, after the confluence with the Fengling River, it flows zigzags to the east, separates again through Yuhang Xiye, and the first-class flows into the Qianjiang River, and the first-class goes north, bypassing Pingjiangyi, and injecting into Zhenze Lake. Since the dredging of the Fengling River, the Qingjiang Waterway has been connected with Zhenze Lake, Qianjiang River and Wujiang River.

Xu Ruyu said lightly, "Huh", and said: "The Zhu clan has never had any spirit, and they have been fighting with the Fan clan and Baiyi for a hundred years, so what is the spare strength to run Jiangning, Wuzhou Mansion, Wuzhou, Danyang, Huzhou, Jiangning, Pingjiang Wuyi, which is not a fertile land and a land of gold?" fell into the hands of the Zhu clan, and starved every year. He turned his head, looked at Shao Haitang, and said: "Please ask Mr. Shao to write a letter to Jing Cheng, Brother Jing Cheng has many strange ambitions, and he has no talent in the deserted city, I am willing to wait for the banquet and participate in the grand event with him." ”

At this time, it had been two years since Xu Jingcheng led the 600 remnants of the Xiangfan Society to serve as the new Andu Prefecture.
